Card-shaped data carrier

摘要

A method for producing a card-shaped data carrier directly in the ID-000 format (plug-in), and for combining the production method with the incorporation of security features, individualization data and personalization data. In so doing, a card body having ID-000 dimensions is connected directly to the rear side of a film carrier or module tape, being for example cast or injection-molded thereonto. The film carrier is preferably transparent or semitransparent. Through the film carrier the card body can be marked and inscribed by means of laser radiation.

主权项

1. A method for producing a card-shaped data carrier, comprising the steps:
supplying a film carrier that is transparent or semitransparent to visible radiation and having a contact layout applied to a front side of the film carrier, and contacting surfaces on a rear side of the film carrier; arranging a semiconductor circuit on the rear side of the film carrier and connecting contacts of the semiconductor circuit to the contacting surfaces; connecting a card body whose length and width dimensions correspond respectively to length and width dimensions of the finished data carrier, and whose thickness dimension, together with the thickness of the film carrier, corresponds to the thickness of the finished data carrier, to the rear side of the film carrier; detaching an area comprising at least one contact layout from the film carrier with at least one of a length or width dimension of the finished data carrier; said card body being visible through the film carrier; and producing visible markings on the card body by means of laser radiation through the film carrier.
